I’m Hungry

Exodus16

The Hebrews on the 15th day of the second month since departing Egypt are complaining. 
Big time complaining. Like:
“. . . You have taken us out into this desert to let this whole assembly starve to death!”  (verse 3)

That’s what they said. 

Interesting, they were wishing they had died in Egypt — but here the thought of starving to death was not welcomed. 
Humans. We are a messed up bunch — until JESUS is LORD of us. 

Verse 18  . . .  each person had gathered according to his appetite.
This is speaking of the Manna that GOD sent to them each morning.
They got quail in the evening. 

This is my observation – we do the same.
We gather from the Bread of Heaven – The Word of GOD according to our appetite.
We eat the amount we want.
This is why it is so important that we pray for GOD to increase our appetite – to literally ask Him to create in us a hunger for His Word.
If we ask and keep on asking HE WILL.

Would you say, we watch television, YouTubes, listen to music, etc., etc. according to our appetite?

What are our appetites? 
What do we crave?
How can we know?
What say ye?

A Bumpy Ride

Fellow Followers of The LORD JESUS CHRIST, stop fretting, grumbling, complaining, and feeding on the media’s idolatry of governmental administrations. Don’t give this Distraction the time of day. 
Instead, give GOD time. Give HIM your attention. Abide in unceasing prayer with Him.
He is worthy of your time, attention, and affection.  

GOD said be sure your sin will find you out and they will. Numbers 32:23

Consider this with me. GOD works with what we give Him. 
GOD established government. Government as GOD established it is good; good and needful. Check out Moses; presently that’s my understanding of where government began. Exodus 18.
Additionally, like it or not GOD decides who sits in government offices.  Romans 13:1; Daniel 2:21; Daniel 4:17

Now back to God works with what we give Him and what He has given us. 
He gave us government. We corrupted it. We have elections. People speak. 
Have the people spoken? Yes and no. 
This present administration (and let’s face it – others before it) is what America earned.
Is that to say all Americans are getting what they deserve? 

I think not; particularly children. 
But know this: the sins of the parents and grandparents and great-grandparents are affecting the children of today.  (Deuteronomy 5:9)

I rest in this: GOD loves me. He loves all my loves (meaning my People).
And sin must be rewarded with what it has earned.
This present administration shall reap a harvest from GOD. Will that harvest be in time to bring people to repentance? I don’t know. 

But I do know no sin slides. 

So what kind of people should we be? 

Not fretters. Not complainers. Not worriers. 

Pray. Trust. Wait. 
And as we wait, speak Scripture. Live Scripture. Love Scripture. Share Scripture.
And wait till GOD does what only He can do.
And what does He do?
One of the infinite, innumerable things He does is appoint leaders to either lead the people to right and tranquil living; or if they will not, He allows the consequences the People have earned to give them opportunities to repent.
Still, the choice to repent or perish is each individual’s to make. 

Such is where we are. 
Can America come back from this? 
I seriously have my doubts BUT GOD will surely forgive each and every American or any other person the world over who will REPENT and turn FROM sin TO HIM.

Will we soon be without this Country we have so greatly enjoyed? 
I don’t know. 

But this I know GOD WILL NEVER FORSAKE HIS OWN.
Hebrews 13:5
But HIS OWN better do some repenting and turning and trusting.
Because the Ride just may get really bumpy moving forward. 

Kathie’s List

Exodus 15:26  (NKJV) 26 and said, “If you diligently heed the voice of the Lord your God and do what is right in His sight, give ear to His commandments and keep all His statutes, I will put none of the diseases on you which I have brought on the Egyptians. For I am the Lord who heals you.”  source

James 5:16 (NKJV) 16 Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.  source

Confess your trespasses to one another. Does that mean we parade our sins? I don’t think so.
I don’t think The Father intends for you or for me to air our dirty laundry to the world.
Yet when we know we have injured another, if we ourselves want to be healed, we have some confessing to do to the one we injured – then we can effectively pray for others. 

For a collection of Scripture verses containing the word heal, look HERE

I have some close Ones in need of healing.  I shall not list their names for public consumption – Father knows.
And I would surely appreciate it if you prayed for them – Kathie’s List

And LINDA, happy birthday. I love you, my dear Sister!
